Application filed April 30.1907. Serial No. 371086.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HOBART D. llOAK, citizen of the United States, residing at Grass Valley, in thetcounty of Nevada and State of California, have invented certain new and useful Int rovements in Combination-Tools, of which t e following is a specification.

This invention contemplates certain new and useful improvements in combination tools and the invention has for its object an improved construction of pivotally connect- 'ed members that will serve for a large numher of diversified purposes, the invention consisting of certain constructions, arrangements and combinations of the parts which I shall hereinafter fully describe and then point out the novel features in the appended claims For a full understanding of the invention and the merits thereof and also to acquire a knowledge of the details of construction of the means for eilecting the result, reference is to be had to the following description and accompanying drawings, in which:

Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improved combination tool; Fig. 2 is an end elevation thereof; and, Figs, 3, 4 and 5 are detail views of the diilerent implements that are included in the invention.

Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the iollowin description and indicated in all the views 0? the drawings by the same reference characters.

My improved combination tool comprises two pivotally connected members 1 that pro vide handles 2 and 3 and jaws 4. 5 designates a pivot point of the two members, said members crossing at the pivot point so that the jaws 4 will close when the handles 2 and 3 are pressed together.

-The jaws 4 are formed near their front ends with sockets or recesses 6 designed to be used for holding a ring when inserting the same in the snout of-ahog. Between the re cesses 6 and the pivot 5, the jaws 4 are formed with toothed recesses or sockets 7 designed to serve thepurposes of an alligator-wrench, and one of said members 1 is formed with a headed protuberance 8 designed to constitute a hammer. ,Both of said members 1- are formed with hooked jaws 9 which are offset from the main jaws 4 and Which are adaoted to form nippers. The two jaws are termed near the pivot with shear edges 10 which may be used as a center wire cutter, and they are also formed with side lugs 11 constituting; a. side wire cutter, in an. obvious manner.

Back of the pivot-"point 5, the member; 1 are formed in their handle portions with toothed recesses 12, the teeth of one recess pointing roarwardly, so as to form pipe wrench. The handle member 3 provided with a preferably integral lug 13 which eX- tends towards the other handle member 2, and the latter is formed with a complelnental lug 14, the said lugs 23 and M pro viding a rivetcr for leather and. the like.

To the lug 13 a vise 15 is pivotaily connected at one end, and clamping bolt 16 extends through said jaw and through the handle member 3 and is provided with a winged nut adapted to draw the vise jaw 15 against the handle member 3 which consti tutes, with the member 15, a vise.

ends of the handle member 3 and the jaw 15 are preferably oflset towards each other, and. one or both oi: them are formed with a socket 17 designed to hold any desired 23, any one of these impie'rnents b se cured on said protuberance or lug it? by means of a winged nut, as shown.

From the fore oing dos ription incennection with the accompanying draw/i s, it wili be seen that i have provided a v ry simple, durable and eillcicnt construction of combination tool, which may he chea'piy imanu- 1 factured and which embodies in the one inn plement a number of implements for aidely diversified Having thus describm is claimed as new is:

The hercimdescribed tool con pivotally connected members termed 'Wl '1 ban-- dles at one side of the pivot, one cl said hasdles being formed with a hug ans the other i if)
